You have a problem fetching the Project instance by user’s id value in get_object method. You should call filter first.

def get_object(self):
    return Projects.objects.filter(user=self.kwargs['pk'])[0]

However, your problem is more fundamental. You should subclass ListView not DetailView to get the projects of a given user. For it to work for a url like /user/dhruv/, you can do the following;

urls.py

url(r'^user/(?P<author>\w+)/$', UserProjectsListView.as_view(), name='detail'),

views.py

class UserProjectsListView(ListView):
    model = Projects

    def get_queryset(self):
        return self.model.objects.filter(author=self.kwargs['author'])

Hope this helps.
